Terms and Conditions
These Terms and Conditions govern access to The Cosmic Distro website, wholesale catalogue, account features, ordering services and related business communications.
By accessing cosmicdistro.shop, creating an account, applying for wholesale access, submitting an order or using any website feature, you agree to these Terms and Conditions and our Privacy Policy.
These Terms and Conditions constitute an agreement between you and The Cosmic Distro (“The Cosmic Distro,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) concerning your access to and use of cosmicdistro.shop, including its wholesale catalogue, account functions, shopping tools, ordering systems, communications and related services.
Please read these Terms carefully before using the website. You should not access restricted features, create an account or submit an order if you do not agree to these Terms.

- These Terms and Conditions.
- Our Privacy Policy.
- Any separate wholesale-account terms.
- Any delivery, returns or credit policies posted on the website.
- Any order-specific terms provided before an order is accepted.
- All laws and regulations applicable to your activities.
If you access the website on behalf of a business, you represent that you have authority to accept these Terms on behalf of that business. In that situation, “you” includes both you and the business you represent.

- Your use of the website is lawful in the jurisdiction where you are located.

Access to wholesale prices, restricted products and ordering features may be limited to approved businesses and qualified buyers.
We may deny access, reject an application or cancel an account when age, identity, business eligibility or legal authority cannot be reasonably verified.
Wholesale Accounts and Verification
Creating a website account does not automatically create an approved wholesale relationship.
We may require applicants to provide information such as:
- Legal business name.
- Doing-business-as name.
- Business address and contact information.
- Business licence information.
- Resale certificate or tax documentation.
- Applicable industry or regulatory licence information.
- Licence number and expiration date.
- Business ownership or authorised-buyer information.
- Other information reasonably needed for verification.
We may verify information through public records, regulatory databases, professional verification providers or direct communication with the applicant.
Submission of an application does not guarantee approval. We may approve, reject, restrict, suspend or request additional information for an account at our discretion, subject to applicable law.
You must promptly notify us if your business information, licence status, ownership, delivery address or authority to purchase changes.
Legal and Regulatory Compliance
You are responsible for understanding and following all laws, regulations, licence conditions and local requirements that apply to your business, purchases, possession, transportation, resale, advertising and use of products obtained through the website.
Restricted products may be offered only:
- To eligible and approved purchasers.
- Within authorised service areas.
- Through legally permitted delivery or fulfilment methods.
- In compliance with applicable licence restrictions.
- Where the transaction is lawful for all participating parties.
Nothing displayed on the website authorises an unlawful purchase, sale, transfer, shipment, transportation, resale or possession of any product.
We may refuse or cancel any transaction that we reasonably believe could violate applicable law, licensing requirements, payment rules, delivery restrictions or company compliance procedures.
Account Registration and Security
You agree to provide accurate, complete and current account information.
You are responsible for:
- Protecting your username and password.
- Restricting access to your account and devices.
- All activities conducted through your account.
- Ensuring that only authorised representatives use your account.
- Keeping your contact and business information current.
- Immediately reporting suspected unauthorised access.
You may not transfer, rent, sell, share or assign your account to another person or business without our prior written approval.
We are not responsible for losses resulting from your failure to protect your account credentials, except where responsibility cannot lawfully be excluded.
Wholesale Catalogue and Pricing Access
Certain catalogue content, product availability, case quantities, wholesale prices, promotions and ordering options may be restricted to registered or approved users.
Wholesale pricing and catalogue information are provided solely for legitimate business purchasing purposes.
You may not:
- Share confidential wholesale pricing with unauthorised parties.
- Copy the catalogue for use by another distributor or marketplace.
- Scrape, harvest or systematically extract catalogue information.
- Use catalogue information to impersonate The Cosmic Distro.
- Misrepresent your relationship with The Cosmic Distro or a brand.
Access to restricted information may be withdrawn at any time when an account no longer satisfies our requirements.
Product Information and Availability
We aim to present product names, descriptions, images, quantities, packaging, specifications and availability as accurately as reasonably possible.
However:
- Packaging and appearance may change without notice.
- Product images may differ slightly from delivered inventory.
- Availability may change before an order is confirmed.
- Descriptions may contain unintentional errors or omissions.
- Brand information may be supplied by manufacturers or suppliers.
- Displayed inventory is not guaranteed until order acceptance.
We may correct errors, update information, substitute corrected information or withdraw a listing without prior notice.
Product names, brand names and trademarks belong to their respective owners. Listing a product does not automatically imply an exclusive distribution relationship or endorsement unless expressly stated in writing.
Pricing, Discounts and Taxes
Prices are displayed in United States dollars unless otherwise stated.
Prices, case quantities, minimum orders, promotions and discounts may change without notice before an order is accepted.
An incorrect price caused by a typographical, technical, catalogue or system error does not require us to fulfil an order at that incorrect price.
We may contact you with the corrected price or cancel the affected item or order.
You are responsible for:
- Applicable sales, use, excise and other taxes.
- Providing valid resale or tax-exemption documentation.
- Keeping exemption information accurate and current.
- Fees imposed by your bank or payment provider.
- Any agreed delivery, handling or fulfilment charges.
Promotional codes and discounts may be subject to separate conditions and may not be combined unless expressly permitted.
Orders and Order Acceptance
Products displayed on the website are invitations to submit an order and do not constitute a binding offer.
An order is not accepted merely because:
- You placed products in your cart.
- You completed the checkout process.
- You received an automated confirmation.
- A payment authorisation was initiated.
An order becomes accepted when we confirm approval or begin fulfilment, subject to inventory, verification, payment and legal eligibility.
We may:
- Accept or reject an order.
- Limit quantities.
- Require a minimum order amount.
- Request additional verification.
- Separate an order into multiple fulfilments.
- Cancel unavailable or incorrectly priced items.
- Refuse orders that appear fraudulent or unlawful.
We may contact you before acceptance to confirm quantities, availability, substitutions, fulfilment arrangements or payment details.
Payment Terms
Available payment methods may vary by account, order size, transaction type and service area.
By submitting payment information, you represent that:
- You are authorised to use the selected payment method.
- The billing information you provide is accurate.
- You authorise the applicable transaction charges.
- You will pay all amounts due for accepted orders.
We may use independent payment providers. Your use of a payment provider may be governed by that provider’s separate terms and privacy policy.
We may delay or cancel fulfilment if:
- Payment cannot be verified.
- A payment is declined or reversed.
- Fraud screening identifies material concerns.
- The payment name does not match the approved account.
- Additional documentation is reasonably required.
Any approved credit terms, deposits, balances or payment deadlines must be documented separately in writing.
Fulfilment, Delivery and Pickup
Fulfilment options depend on the products ordered, purchaser eligibility, service area, applicable law and available delivery or pickup arrangements.
Estimated fulfilment or delivery dates are not guarantees unless expressly confirmed in writing.
You are responsible for providing:
- An accurate approved delivery or pickup location.

- The recipient cannot be verified.

Check for:

- Clear photographs or video where applicable.
